- The Melbourne employees clearly specified that they would be unavailable
- Responses threatened to report fellow colleagues to HR for contacting them
- Another simply suggested the sender call 000 in case of an emergency
A company’s marketing assistant just revealed her Gen Z co-workers’ ‘amusing’ and ‘modern’ out of office messages – but not everyone is entertained.

The out of office messages were far from the straight-forward, formulaic emails of yore.
Instead, the generation of young workers opted for casual emails that showcased a dazzle of personality.
Some of the messages were quite apparent about their desire to not work.
‘On vacation. Hoping to win the lottery and never return,’ read an email by Joseph.
Tremaine’s was to the point: ‘Contact someone other than me.’
Others took a more aggressive pathway.
A scathing auto-reply read: ‘Do not contact me while I’m on leave or I’ll report you to HR.’
But a good passive aggressive email, like Rochelle’s, cannot be overlooked: ‘I’m unsure why you’re emailing me given that I put this on my calendar months ago.’

Thousands found the new generation’s approach to annual leave extremely healthy and amusing – with many even claiming they wished they were still in the work force
An office worker, James, started his email in an extremely professional manner by providing the dates he would be unavailable.
‘I will be OOO (out of office) from 13/10 – 17/10.’
But he soon added, ‘If it’s an emergency call 000.’
While another took it as an opportunity to remind their coworkers how lucky they were to have some time apart.
‘Please enjoy your break from me,’ an email read.
‘ERROR 404: Employee not found,’ another programmed comically.

Thousands admired how ‘bold’ Gen Z is too not only take off work, but input sassy auto-replies as well.
‘They are so bold, but I love it. As a Millennial I’d be scared to be off of work,’ wrote one woman.
Another offered: ‘Meanwhile Millennial OOOs are like “I’m on vacation with my family but please feel free to bug me!” Hate that for us.’
But certain other older workers called Gen Z’s work ethic callous.
‘This is so disrespectful – what if a serious client saw one of those?’
‘And that’s how you get fired,’ wrote another.
